<H2>down</H2>
<HR>
Load selected or indicated cell into a window
<HR>

<H3>Usage:</H3>
   <BLOCKQUOTE>
      <B>down</B> [<I>instance</I>]
   </BLOCKQUOTE>

<H3>Summary:</H3>
   <BLOCKQUOTE>
      With no arguments, the <B>down</B> command loads the currently
      selected cell into the window.  If more than one cell is selected,
      the one closest to the cursor (pointer) position will be used, or at
      worst, one will be selected arbitrarily. <BR><BR>
      With one argument <I>instance</I>, the cell of the instance named
      <I>instance</I> will be loaded into the window.
   </BLOCKQUOTE>

<H3>Implementation Notes:</H3>
   <BLOCKQUOTE>
      <B>down</B> is implemented as a built-in window command in <B>magic</B>.
      In the Tcl version of magic, it is generally deprecated in favor of
      the scripted Tcl procedure <B>pushstack</B>, and the "tools" script
      implementation of the "<B>&gt;</B>" macro to invoke <B>pushstack</B>
      on a selected cell.
